Rocot: Reborn

A void creature pounced on a researcher, and its sharp teeth tore his throat. Blood splattered and dyed Dr. Li's cheek red.

"Ah!!" Dr. Li screamed, fell to the ground, closed his eyes in despair, and waited for death to come.

However, the expected pain did not come. She opened her eyes and saw Rocot standing in front of her. The metal ball in his hand emitted a dazzling light, forcing the void creature back.

"You..." Dr. Li felt mixed emotions as he looked at the blood-covered man in front of him.

"I said, I will stop them..." Roccod's mouth curled up into a sneer, his eyes full of madness, "Even if it costs my life..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the metal ball in his hand into the air. The metal ball burst out with unprecedented strong light, illuminating the entire control room like daylight.

"No! What do you want to do?!" Dr. Li shouted in horror.

"Let's... die together with them!" Rocot's voice sounded particularly clear and resolute in the strong light.

The next second, the metal sphere exploded, and the strong light engulfed everything. The control room instantly turned into a white world...

……

When Dr. Li woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

"I... am still alive?" She struggled to sit up, but felt sore and weak all over.

"Are you awake?" a familiar voice came. Dr. Li turned around and saw a young man in a white coat standing beside the bed with a gentle smile on his face.

"Who are you……"

"I am the doctor responsible for treating you. My name is... Lin Feng." The young man smiled slightly, with a hint of imperceptible cunning in his eyes.

"Lin Feng?" Dr. Li tried hard to recall, but she couldn't remember the name. Her memory was still stuck on the moment of the explosion in the control room, and Roccod's crazy eyes and those resolute words, replaying in her mind over and over again.

"You may not remember me," Lin Feng considerately handed over a glass of water, "I'm a new intern at the institute. When the explosion happened, I happened to be nearby and rescued you."

Intern? Dr. Li looked at Lin Feng suspiciously. How could an intern save people in that situation? Moreover, the look he gave him seemed to be a little... amusing?

"What happened after the explosion?" Dr. Li asked, suppressing his physical discomfort. "What about the others? Where is Rocot?"

Lin Feng's eyes darkened. "I'm sorry," he said softly, "Except for you, everyone else..."

Dead? Dr. Li's heart sank suddenly. Although she was angry and horrified at what Rocot had done, hearing the news of his death in person still made her feel indescribable grief.

"What about those void creatures?" Dr. Li asked anxiously, grabbing the bed sheet. "Did they rush out?"

"Don't worry," Lin Feng gave a comforting smile, "The time tunnel has been closed and the monsters have been destroyed. You are very brave, Dr. Li, you are the hero of this incident."

Hero? Dr. Li smiled self-deprecatingly. If she really stopped Rocot, she might be called a hero. But now, she was just a coward who survived by chance.

Over the next few days, Dr. Li underwent a comprehensive physical examination and was allowed to leave the hospital after it was confirmed that there was nothing serious.

However, after returning home, Dr. Li could not get rid of the shadow in her heart. The explosion scene, Roccod's crazy eyes, and Lin Feng's meaningful smile all entangled her like a nightmare, making her unable to sleep.

She began to doubt whether the matter was as simple as Lin Feng said. Was Rokod really dead? Were those void creatures really destroyed?

In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Dr. Li decided to secretly return to the institute to find out the truth.

However, when she arrived at the gate of the institute, she was told that the institute had been blocked for security reasons and no one was allowed to enter.

Dr. Li was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade the guard at the door, but was rudely interrupted by the guard: "Dr. Li, I know you care about the institute, but this is an extraordinary period. Please cooperate with our work and don't cause trouble for us!"

Just when Dr. Li was about to give up, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Dr. Li? Why are you here?"

Dr. Li turned around and saw Lin Feng, dressed casually, standing not far away with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Doctor Lin?" Dr. Li saw Lin Feng and felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "I have something to ask you, about the explosion, and..."

"Shhh..." Lin Feng made a gesture to silence the crowd, "This is not the place to talk, follow me."

He took Dr. Li to a cafe near the institute, ordered two cups of coffee, and then lowered his voice and said, "I know what you want to ask, Dr. Li, but there are some things that you'd better not know."

"Why?" Dr. Li looked at Lin Feng in confusion, "What do you know?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, then he raised his head, looked directly into Dr. Li's eyes, and said slowly: "Because, Rokod is not dead, he is still alive, and he is right next to us..."

Dr. Li stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief. "What did you say? How is this possible?"

Lin Feng didn't say anything, but took out a USB disk from his pocket and gently placed it on the table. "Here are the answers you want to know," he whispered, "but after reading it, you may regret it..."
